Fremantle and Harmattan are simply codenames for versions of Maemo. The codename for Maemo 5 was "Fremantle", and the "Harmattan" codename was announced long ago for Maemo 6. If it helps to understand the situation, your complaint here would be similar to declaring Microsoft unable to plan for the future due to the fact they released Windows 2000 Professional (codename "Memphis") and then Windows XP (codename "Whistler").

MeeGo is a cooperative project, in which Nokia and Intel are major players, to create and maintain a common foundation (Linux + additional standardized layers) upon which companies may build their own user interfaces and applications for retail products. Though it will not use the MeeGo-standard package format, Harmattan will be MeeGo as it uses the MeeGo software stack and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).
